ATTENTION: Windows 10 users

Beta 2 build is now available!

If you just upgraded to Windows 10 or running build 10240 or greater of Win 10 pre-release you will need to download and install the new version of ZoneAlarm 14.0.157.000

Hello,
Yesterday, I have installed Vista Home Premium on my computer. Every steps went very well except when came the time to install ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite. I have downloaded the Vista version from CheckPoint Web Site. As I launch the installation I received the first 2 dialog boxes and then the following message appears in the next box:Validation fail for C:\Windows\system32\VSINIT.dll
After the above message is displayed the system freezes completely and I have to reboot. This situation is cumbersome and I don't understand the source of this message. I have been using ZoneAlarm as my Internet Security Suite for the past 2 years with Windows XP Family Edition. I'm a paying member and my subscription will end in 2 weeks. The technical support has been informed of the situation yesterday but it seems that I will not received an answer before early next week.
In view of the above, I'm planning to subscribe with another supplier of Internet Security Suite if this problem is not solved quickly. Right now this situation is preventing me from having a protection on my computer.
Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you GeorgeV for responding to my message.
However, the information provided is applicable to a system that was upgraded from Windows XP op rating system to Widows Vista. In my case it is a completly new installation of Windows Vista Home Premium. The mother board (ASUS P5E), the processor (Intel Core 2 Quad 6700, 2,66GHz) and the RAM (Kingston DDR2, 1066MHz, 2X2048 MB) were replace and the hard drive has been reformatted. So it is really a brand new installation.
In view of the above, this is exactly why I don't understand the validation error message that is displayed shortly after the installation process begins. Nothing from the previous installation should interfer with the installation of ZA Security Suite for Vista. All other programs were successfully installed and they are working just fine.
Thanks again for your help.
